Viewing Catalogs and Saving Files
NOTE You need to use a filename that does not already exist in the current
directory. The filename is limited to eight characters, alpha (A-Z) or
numeric (0-9) in any combination. The analyzer will not allow you to
overwrite an existing file. If you select a filename that already
exists, the status bar will display the message: File already
exists. If you do not choose a filename, the analyzer will
automatically generate a name based on the type of file you are
saving (Setup: SETUP, State: STATE, Trace: TRACE, Limits: LIMIT,
Corrections: COREC, Screen: SCREN). It also generates a three digit
integer (starting at 000 and extending through 999, remembering
the previously saved value through a power cycle) which it adds to
the name, for example: TRACE056.TRC. Also note that this three digit
integer increments upon each attempted save until a unique
filename is created, without regard to the success of the save.
6. The destination for the saved file is shown in the Path: field. In this
example, you will select the path as C:\START\. If the correct
location is not listed in the Path: field, change directories as follows:
a. Press Dir Up or Dir Select and use the step keys or knob, to
highlight the desired destination directory.
b. Press Dir Select and confirm your choice displayed in the Path:
field.
7. Press Save Now or Save (hardkey) to save the file to the C:\Start\
location. The message Saving Now is displayed during this
operation. For this example, the status line displays:
C:\START\TEST1.TRC file saved.
NOTE When saving to drive (A:), never remove the floppy disk during the save
operation. To do so could corrupt all data on the floppy disk.
